I have written several not-so-favorable review/s of my personal experiences with medical…read morefacilities/offices in the past. But NOT this time. Oh no. NOT. On several occasions, I missed appointments purely unintentionally, at this office. "My bad" - without question or excuse. So, my conscience being my guide, led me to go to Dr. Duggal's office to hopefully explain the extenuating circumstances regarding these missed appointments. I was very hesitant, thinking that I might be kicked out of her practice! And rightfully so - if that were the case...but it was NOT. I was permitted to speak to Dr. Duggal's Office Manager, "Summer." She allowed me entrance in to her office, quietly closing the door, and I began by apologizing profusely saying that in no way do I ever want to miss an appointment because that would have been someone else's spot. "Summer" listened intently to the extenuating circumstances I shared, explaining that I was not there to tell her my life's problems, but that these truly were the prevailing circumstances. With aplomb, she sat quietly and with an open mind, allowing me space to share this unfortunate life circumstance that is prevailing, continued listening. I was so overwhelmed by her professionalism, kindness and caring that at one point I became a tad weepy. In her kindness, she offered me a tissue. Where on this planet would any patient be afforded the opportunity and TIME to be heard? WHERE? No where that I know of...no where. I will never forget this as long as I live. This office is a gift to the medical profession in this town, and Dr. Duggal's entire staff is as well. Always welcoming patients with tender smiles, kind nods, and lending ears. Such an example to other medical offices here...I absolutely cannot THANK Dr. Duggal's office staff enough, and in particular, "Summer" for who she is...a true, caring professional in the medical field. I like to think of YELP reviews as presenting experiences that lend themselves to the readers' own mind of discerning the "right" or "wrong" of a situation. Often times readers "get their panties in a wad" over an experience that is not shed in good light. Why? Let's all seek to be the SOLUTION to a problem or "one-off" experience that is not good...instead of crucifying the reviewer for sharing a problem - further demonstrating the truth of the review and of their inability to accept constructive criticism.

Have been a patient of Dr. Duggal for years and she's great but the office lacks customer…read moreservice... it's impossible to get anyone to EVER answer phones or get a call back!

The Dr and nurse's I see are great! The problem with this place is the scheduling department…read more Anytime I call to schedule or reschedule my appointments it takes a miracle to get them to answer. Today for example I've been hung up or disconnected 4 times in and hour trying to reschedule my appointment. They say u can request a C/B which I did and twice they called me and no one was on the line! Just now I got through they asked me to hold after being in the queue for 30 minutes and then abruptly hung up on me twice! This alone is there weakness.

I do not recommend Kern Endocrine Center at all!!! First of all, the office staff rarely answers…read moretheir phone. And when you come in person, you will see it's not because they're overwhelmed with patients. They turn off the ringers and turn on an answering service most of the time. Second, out of 7 appointments, they have called and canceled and rescheduled 5 of them. Often at the last minute. Third, the dr is friendly, but all she does is push weight-loss pills. I lost 20 lbs and she made no acknowledgment of it, and went into her usual spiel about the pills. The last time I was there, a woman came 10 min late and they told her she couldn't keep her appointment, EVEN THOUGH, her appointment was scheduled long after mine, and I had already been waiting an hour because they were behind schedule. They just wanted to shorten the day. So EVEN IF she was on time, she couldn't actually get into the room before me. I told her go elsewhere. They thanked me. I tried to get a different endocrinologist, but I was told due to insurance purposes I couldn't. So I'm changing from gem care to a ppo during open enrollment next month just so I can get a new endocrinologist.

My son had to do blood work at Valley childrens Hospital. His appt was set for Dec 12th. They called me from Valley Children to let me know they haven't received paperwork from Dr. ching office. and asked if I could have it sent over. I called the front office, and they told me they would take care of it. 2 days before his appt valley children called me again saying they would have to reschedule because they still haven't received paperwork. and move the appt to the next available Feb 9th. I called Dr. ching office and told them. The secretary said they would make sure the paperwork is sent over. towards the end of January Valley children called me, saying there was still no paperwork. I called Dr Ching office and asked if they can send it over the secretary, said they did. I told her to cc me in the email so I could have verification. Finally, it was sent over! Come feb 9th we did all the blood work and the nurse at valley childrens said that Dr. Ching office should call me within a week to make an appt for results. 1 week passed, and 2 weeks passed, so I called and asked for an appt. The next available was March 28. March 26, i received a recorded voicemail reminding me about the appt. Come March 28, we show up office is locked. The secretary opens for us and asks how she can help us i said we have a appt, she said no, no one has an appt today, and all appointments were rescheduled. I said I got the reminder voice message. she said they tried calling several times. I pulled out my phone and asked when they called because I never received a message saying his appointment needs to be rescheduled. needless to say, I had to get another appointment. hopefully it goes well but I'm not too happy with those offices thus far.
